Virtual Dreams II: Ambient Explorations in the House & Techno Age, Japan is a compilation album arranged by record shop owner Eiji Taniguchi and Jamie Tiller, co-founder of the record label Music from Memory. A collection of tracks from 90s Japanese ambient music producers, it features Dub Squad, Palomatic, Virgo, Ambient 7, Yukihiro Fukutomi, Riow Arai, and others. The compilation album was released on October 15, 2024, exactly one year after Tiller's death.
Taniguchi and Tiller met when the former traveled to the Netherlands to buy records. At the time, Taniguchi was a "private dealer" who sold records online, while Tiller hadn't yet founded Music from Memory. Together, the two would travel together to buy records and work on several compilation albums. While collaborating, Taniguchi and Tiller would share tracks they liked and curate from there:
"... together, we would narrow it down further. He always had a clear vision and also approached everything with a producer's mindset. When we hit roadblocks with licensing, he would always offer the right advice. He was incredibly persistent and always found ways to make licensing successful."
Virtual Dreams II serves as the Japanese sequel to Virtual Dreams I, which was more concentrated on the European house and techno scene. After mastering the first volume, Tiller already had an idea for a second volume as a Japanese edition concentrated on "an incredibly fruitful period of Japanese club culture." The compilation album took four years to research and put together.
The compilation album made several curated lists online. RNZ and Pitchfork listed it as one of their favorite re-issues and compilations of 2024; the latter gave it a score of 8.3 out of 10.The Vinyl Factory called it one of their favorite vinyl releases of the week.
